Amelia's Point of View
We decided to shelve the deep and meaningful, for another time. Raya seemed to know I wasn't ready to hear what she had to say. So we agreed to keep it light as we started on our journey around my new home.
I honestly hadn't considered how tired the tour of the house would make me. I had some idea that the house was on the large side when I judged it from outside, but nothing prepared me for when Raya and I started to walk around it. Raya was talking non-stop and every set of stairs we encountered she climbed like a mountain goat. Whereas I was out of breath and struggling to keep up, I felt like an old lady. And to my horror, I found that I was hungry again. Even after everything I'd eaten for lunch.
Before the tour, all I'd seen was the lobby and my room
